Help with the geck

[KillerCritter]

When i bring the geck back to the village elder she always says, "once again you return without the geck, our crops begin to fail us, blah, blah, blah. I would very much like some help with this

Then you probably don't have the GECK in your inventory but something else you think is the GECK. Some more info would be nice. Where did you get what you think is the GECK from, for instance?

:lighten:

Maybe he thought he could save the village with a GECKO pelt?

 

[Snake]

It should be a large white box with the letters G.E.C.K on it but I doubt your dumb enough not to know what the GECK is.

 

[alec]

Isn't it a grey suitcase with the letters G.E.C.K. on it?

the geck

I know is a geck and i am positive cause i look at the definition or information on everything i have, my other question is what do you do with the geck to get it to work, do you just give it to the village elder or what? im not sure

 

[Celestial]

Basically you cannot give the GECK to the Elder or use it in any way. Where did you found it?

yea, whatever.

i know what it looks like because iot shows it in the beginning of the game, remember, the village elder talks about it while it shows an in-depth pic of it, so i know what it looks like. I found it in vault 13 on the third fllor in the supply room.

I've never heard of anyone being able to actually give the GECK to the Arroyo elder. When you enter V13 (and probably a few other places) I think* the game automatically switches the starting Arroyo map for the destroyed Arroyo map, where all the villagers (bar the shaman Hakunin) have been killed or kidnapped by the Enclave.
Hence it is not possible to give the GECK to the elder.


*Someone more familiar with the game/scripts wopuld be able to tell you for sure. I'm looking in Per and Celestial's direction.

Yeah, basically that's it. I think the trigger is when you get the xp for finding the vault once you're on the inside, and that can't be avoided.

 

[Argonnot]

actualy, the trigger does not set the 2 week timer off until you remove the G.E.C.K. from vault 13.

i think what happened in his case was that he picked up the geck but it didnt trigger the arroyo death thingy. The game is only actually programmed to respond to the presence of the geck in 1 place only and thats the enclave (if you dont have it in your inventory and u dont pick it up from a side room in the maze, it reminds you to find it). Other than that it doesnt matter if you have the geck or not, nothing else will effect it. try loading a previous save slot and pick up the geck again.
Note: even if you have the geck in your inventory you can still ask questions like "have you ever heard of a g.e.c.k.?" to people. (which is kinda weird.)
